It is one with cable.
You can see it in the manual page 191 and FRU# on page 194.

Do you have one of this TP? If not, please don't reply. Do you know how many version there is for 1200/1300? What you see is what I saw, but that's not it for mine. Again it's like the PC motherboard cmos battery, snap on snap off. Please anyone with similar model 700mhz 1161 43U. I will upload picture when I can.

Those batteries are nearly always CR2032 (thicker version 3.2mm) or CR2025 (thinner version 2.5mm).
Both give 3V, and are widely available if you don't need cables attached.

Sorry but in your first post you did not specify the model#.
I know we all try to but sometimes we forget.

Ok, went to Walgreens and grabbed me CR2032, it was too big in circumfrence. I took it back exchange for CR1616 but have not tried it out yet. It is also 3v.

Your 'antique' might have this CR1220 battery:

Don't you have the old battery?

Just a heads up-- be real gentle with the battery holder. I've seen a similar setup in an R30 where the battery holder snapped off with the battery.

As I mentioned previously, I misplaced it. I took it out and was gonna go get one to replace but I dont know where I put it. You know how small those batterys are. Well, talking bout it, I was gonna try the one I just bought CR1616 I lost it again. [censored] it, that's $3.99 plus tax. I might just go get another one try the CR1220.
